It took multiple fire crews to extinguish a blaze which started in a boat at Gwandalan on Thursday, August 29.
Fire crews were alerted at about 10:45am and by the time Gwandalan Summerland Point Rural Fire Brigade arrived the fire had escalated to a structure fire.
The house was also alight and fire crews had to contend with many hazardous materials.
Firefighters Lake Munmorah RFS, Wallarah RFS, and Fire and Rescue crews from Doyalson, Budgewoi, Hamlyn Terrace and Berkeley Vale helped to bring the fire under control.
